Globalization and its discontents

Answer ALL of the following questions:

1) Summarize the neo-liberal argument for why they believe market-based capitalist “globalization works,” and give one positive example. (2 pts for the summary and 1 pt for the example)

2) Explain a critique of globalization from ONE of the following perspectives: religious, anti/anarchist, anti-racist OR environmental. (2 pts)

3) Give an example of a problem with globalization that the neo-liberal view misses but the critical ideology you selected in #2 can explain. Does this mean the globalization gap can be fixed in the current system by reform —or does it mean the neo-liberal belief in markets is fundamentally flawed? Explain why or why not (1 pt for the example, and 2 pts for the explanation of fixing/not the gap)
